How do some people have a flat scar and no overhang? Even straight away

I was a size 6 before pregnancy and wasn’t even big so can’t put it down to excess weight. Is it the sewing technique? Scar too tight?

Premature - development

My daughter is 4 months but she was born 4 weeks early classed as premature. She is always being measured for weight and height based on a month younger than she is. Should I be tracking her development also as 4 weeks younger (so a 3 month old) or as a 4 month old? X

Sicky baby

We have a very sicky baby! She is putting on weight & nappies are fine but today she has vomited A LOT. She is never bothered by it and is a happy baby but I wondered if anyone else has been through this? I am thinking about trying her with Carobel to see if this helps. She is nearly 5 months and I'm a first-time ...

Exercise

Just wondering when did people stop exercising when they were pregnant? I'm 7 months now and I go swimming once a week and try to fit some power walks in. Also did people that did exercise throughout pregnancy find birth and loosing weight after birth easier?

Sick!

My 14 week old is still being quite sick after some of her bottles and even up to an hour or 2 afterwards. Sometimes it’s clear but it always stinks!! She loves her milk (kendamil) and is gaining weight fine. Is there anything I can do to help reduce it?

Weight percentiles

Looking for a bit of advice. My little girl has always been on the smaller size. She dropped percentiles when she was newborn due to CMPA but since then has been following her curve I’ve just gone to get her weighed and although she’s put on weight, she has dropped percentiles again. She’s now just above the 50...

Feel down about myself 15 months on

I feel shit about my appearance and my weight since having my little girl. I can’t afford to have my hair done as much as I use to, so all my greys show. I use to have my nails done, now I don’t and feel stumpy. I have put weight on, my little girl is very clingy and when she goes bed I worry what the night will be ...

Insane Irritability w/partner!!

Does this uncontrollable irritability and disliking of my partner go away after the baby is born? I’m 9months along and EVERYTHING this man does annoys me, and I can’t communicate with him because he is a super argumentative and defensive person.

Weight loss

Helllpp ! How do you work out how many calories to eat in order to loose weight? I am 32, 5ft 5, 91kg, BMI of 33.4. I am in desperate need of shedding some LBs, I don’t have a coat that does up, a pair of jeans that fit. My son is 3 years so not recently had him. I am also coeliac.

Is 3-3,5 kg (7-7,7 lb) baby too heavy to be born naturally by a petite woman (5'2")?

Anyone used to worry that your baby was too big for you to be delivered naturally? How did it eventually go? Also, how correct was the weight prediction made during scanning? * My 36 w scan showed the baby was already 2800g and growing by around 23-25 g daily, meaning that by the DD he'll be weighing about 3,5 kg

Baby carriers

Walk or exercise

Is anybody down to walk or go to the gym together? I need to get back in shape and lose the baby weight, but I don’t want to do it alone for safety and also because I don’t like going out alone 😂
